FAQS

The Local Heroes Network is a curated directory of trusted local people, businesses, and community groups connected to The George.
It exists to make it easy to find the people who quietly keep our area running — from trades and services to creatives, clubs, and independents — all in one place.
Every name listed here is either personally known, locally recommended, or part of the wider community around the pub. No algorithms, no ads — just real people, doing good work, locally.

Use the directory to find local recommendations when you need them.
Whether you’re looking for a builder, a dog walker, a coffee club, a yoga class, or something a bit more niche, this is a good place to start.
Each listing includes a short description and direct contact details, so you can reach out easily and support local businesses and groups directly.
We’ll also be spotlighting one Local Hero each month — sharing their story and the work they do — so there’s always something new to discover.
